p.5 The Day's Episodes - The steamer Alexandria arrived at Folger's, Tuesday forenoon, on her way to Montreal, having been delayed while undergoing repairs, as a result of the collision with the steamer Philgate (Filgate ?), at Montreal, on her last trip. Considerable freight for Montreal and intermediate points was put on the vessel here.

p.8 Capt. R.H. McKay's Birthday - Tomorrow Capt. R.H. McKay will be eighty-four years of age, and will give a birthday party to a number of his old friends. The captain was born near the site now covered by Barriefield, and knows the history of Kingston for the past three-quarters of a century by heart. He was a frequenter of the British-American hotel corner building (still standing) in 1830, and still visits the old place. The veteran captain's friends hope that his heart will continue to beat till he has reached the century mark.

Since 2005 this site has been the prototype for the digital collection management tools built for the Our Digital World (formerly the OurOntario project of Knowledge Ontario.)

As a prototype it is subject to occasional, unexplained interruptions in service ... because we keep trying new things.
